Thread: connect multiple computer using one broadband

I have a Type 1 ADSL 2+ CPE (Model No. T1-B-DSL699E9.4U6-5) teracom modem, using a bridge connection. Now, I have two laptops at home and I wish to run internet simultaneously on them , but when I try to configure the network for the second laptop, it doesn't work, I can share files between the two laptops, but the internet connection only works for one of them ( the one which was connected first). Can anyone please tell me the configuration I need to have in my second laptop ,presently I am only changing the LAN settings to these in my second laptop.
IP. 192.168.1.3
subnet mask 255.255.255.0
default gateway 192.168.1.1

DNS server 218.248.255.194 and 218.248.255.162

I am really new to this, so please help.

To connect more than one system simultaneously, you need to be in PPPoE mode. Configure your system to PPPoE and try.

Guys can u tell me if its legal to connect multiple computers on one BB connection?

If you don't use a Home connection for Business purposes ( if the plan does not allow it )

You can connect any no of computers to your internet connection provided it is for home use. There is no restriction.

Thanks. update later.

Whenever I try to configure my connection using pppoe mode, the green light on link turns to red, although I am able to browse the internet. But even then I am unable to access internet from different computers only one computer is able to access the internet.
Also I would be glad if someone could help me in setting up my broadband using a bridge connection on linux.

Start > run > cmd > ipconfig/all, post the data for all systems intended to use.
